Correct Answer: is here


Solution : The correct choice is the third option .

Explanation : The word "none" is treated as a singular pronoun, and when it functions as the subject of a sentence, it should be paired with a singular verb. In this case, "are" is a plural form. To make the sentence grammatically correct, we should use the singular form, i.e., "is".

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: None of them is here at this moment.
